Sharing her experience, Olori Tobi wrote,
“When I was getting married, I had already purchased an entire box full of Aso-Oke fabrics, intending to display them left and right and slay with gele. But truth be told, I’ve never been a fan of gele from the start.”
The queen continued,
“I could tell my Ori (inner consciousness) was looking at me with a smirk, as if to say, ‘Just keep playing around,’ because wearing gele gives me a headache, no matter how soft and comfortable it is. It’s quite an ordeal!”
